This afternoon EonA visited a slaughterhouse in Bursa that we had been to before. Four years ago they were not interested in the stunner, fearful that stunning may not be Halal. But Asalet is helping break down this myth by showing how it works, how stunning decreases greatly animal suffering compared to slaughtering fully conscious animals and explaining what is in the Koran (carrion is forbiden, but not stunning) and the essence of the teachings of Mohammed, to always make the more compassionate choice. Now the son of the owner of the slaughterhouse is helping take over the plant and he was very interested in stunning. Minds are opening. They will discuss internally and will contact us if they decide to stop cutting the throats of cattle while fully conscious and sensitive to pain and switch to first stunning them.
